Monk Pack
The Monk is a character type that wouldn't have a backpack full of useful little items. While they might have no pack at all, relying on training, ki, and the kindness of others to sustain him out in the world, every adventurer has a couple simple items they take on the road with them. The monk satchel lands right in the middle. It allows the monk to start off with a few items, so we need to be careful what we put in it.

Monk Satchel. A monk satchel is a bag, often with a strap that is often worn so that it diagonally crosses the body, with the bag hanging on the opposite hip, rather than hanging directly down from the shoulder. Small items such as pins, vials and darts can be fastened to the strap. The back of the satchel extends to form a flap that folds over to cover the top and fastens in the front. Made from a specially cured leather, a satchel is 12 in. high, 15 in. wide and 4.5 in. deep and can hold up to 25 lbs. It has custom designed hooks on each side where one may fasten rope, a bedroll, or other bulky items that wouldn't normally fit inside.
